Who is Twinlinx? • Twinlinx:Created in August 2006 by Jacek Kowalski, Founder and former CEO of Inside Contactless, currently leading chip supplier for contactless payment and NFC markets • Our Vision: NFC technology integrated with the mobile phone will generate many opportunities for development of attractive consumer oriented contactless applications • Mission: Provide NFC hardware and applications development platform allowing to integrate NFC technology with the existing and future mobile phones 2006 25/06/2007
What NFC-enabled phones can do? Server Link to a back office server Recharge Exchange data Update Listen/Talk View Get information Type Pay for services NFC (Near Field Communications) : Short range contactless communication technology allowing a phone to behave as a card or as a reader. 25/06/2007
Enabling NFC market development • Why NFC market does not develop? • There are no applications as there are no NFC-enabled phones • Phone manufacturers will not generalize NFC integration within phones without clear consumer demand for such phones • Consumers are not keen to change their phones to get access to an NFC application and are not fully confident in phone security as banking card • Uncertain business models around NFC-enabled phones of different market players • Twinlinx solution is A thin sticker integrating NFC technology and using bluetooth communication to connect it to the phone 25/06/2007
